Fished 2 spots this morning with Jake on a big outgoing tide, 0930-1245.
First was totally new to me and looked promising from the satellite view, but got no bites. Several hurdles for that spot, but might be okay on an incoming instead of an outgoing tide next time.
Second spot was also tough. Soaked for bats and for UL critters, only got a few short bites on the UL. Some signs of rays feeding on the shoreline. Walked by a guy who said he hadn't caught anything, then walked by his stringer of short spotties. I would have called the DFW if he weren't packing up.
Dog off of a leash ran into the water and into my UL line at one point, thankfully didn't get tangled. I recently dog-sat for a big doodle and the experience further enlightened me to all the hazards for dogs. It affirms my view of how many stupid dog owners are out there.
Hot day! Drank a whole gatorade, even took my shirt off for a wee bit to activate some melanin. Unfortunately I blinded Jake and he will be unable to pre-fish with me tomorrow.
Gonna try something else for pre-fishing tomorrow, not entirely sure what but it will probably involve an incoming tide.
Hahaha, well nice way to strike some spots off the list. I especially love the dog story as Squatch and I have more than I can even recall.
I'm heading down tomorrow for some aerial recon. I have 5 areas I want to check out from above before I make our call for Team SD.
Make the drive and Join Team San Diego, we have dogs, horses and topless girls on boats to look at when the Bats aren't biting ;D

When Alicia finishes nursing school I may be joining Team SD indefinitely, so I gotta show you guys up this year while I can!
And Newport has no shortage of girls! Unfortunately it isn't the Saturday Night Girl Fight though...
Fished Spot B again 1730-1930. No bites on the bat rod, some on the UL. I don't think there are actually any real fish in OC...?
ONCE AGAIN, a dog owner walks by me, stops 10 yards up current, throws ball into the water, dog goes and gets it, is nearly swept into my line in 10 seconds. I hop up and retrieve my line asap. I had nothing good to say so I muttered something about at least the dog got her ball when he apologized to me.
Dogs on the beach.Ugh. I'd have left my line out and told him i hope he gets a ticket.
